I processi culturali della globalizzazione
2005
Una fra le contraddizioni principali del processo della globalizzazione è quella fra la libera mobilità di merci e capitali, conseguenza dei mutamenti del capitalismo mondiale, determinati dalle nuove tecnologie informatiche e dei trasporti, e la negazione di quella stessa libera mobilità ad alcune popolazioni. La dimensione culturale diventa elemento fondamentale di questo tipo di negazione Se la cultura è un processo e non una statica icona, allora il confronto con le altre culture non solo non apparirà più come una minaccia, ma semmai una cornucopia per la nostra stessa identità. L’intercultura, sebbene venga considerata una modalità operativa e didattica prevalentemente, se non esclusiv…
Territorio e comunità nel prisma della rigenerazione urbana: tendenze evolutive e nuovi modelli giuridici
2019
In the national legal system, the legal debate highlights a particular attention to the subject of the territorial government, with respect to which the fourth generation regional legislators have experimented with new tools and new legal models, enhancing the participation of citizens in decision-making processes. In this context, the codification of a "city law" is discussed which, in the analysis carried out, is deepened by verifying the contents of the regional disciplines compared, which demonstrate, also, the absence of adequate valorisation of cultural heritage in local public policies.
Male sex work in Italy. Male hierarchies, honor, and sexual status in the South
2021
The chapter considers the specific gender regimes that have developed in Southern Italy and discusses the main historical developments and the relationships among homosexuality, masculinity, and male sex work today

Immobilization of proteins in silica gel: Biochemical and biophysical properties
2015
The development of silica-based sol-gel techniques compatible with the retention of protein structure and function started more than 20 years ago, mainly for the design of biotechnological devices or biomedical applications. Silica gels are optically transparent, exhibit good mechanical stability, are manufactured with different geometries, and are easily separated from the reaction media. Biomolecules encapsulated in silica gel normally retain their structural and functional properties, are stabilized with respect to chemical and physical insults, and can sometimes exhibit enhanced activity in comparison to the soluble form. This review briefly describes the chemistry of protein encapsulat…
Investigating protein structure and dynamics through wide-angle X-ray solution scattering
2016
Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) is a powerful tool that can be used to gain information on the structure and dynamics of proteins and other biomolecules in solution. Improved methods for the calculation of WAXS patterns from available or putative protein models allow to better exploit the structural information contained in the experimental data. These methods, together with recent applications of static and time-resolved WAXS, are briefly reviewed.
Phasor-FLIM for a direct investigation of Transportan 10 interactions with model membranes
2023
Transportan 10 (TP10), a short and positive charged peptide, belonging to the family of the cell penetrating peptides has gained increasing attention for its antimicrobial and anticancer activity but also for its applications in drug delivery as it is able to translocate therapeutic molecules in cellular environment. Due to the complexity of the phenomena involved in cellular uptake and following processes, which strongly depend on the membrane lipid composition, structural details of the peptide (e.g., charge, hydrophobicity, steric hindrance) and environmental conditions, it is not easy to understand the general rules governing them. Here, we combine spectroscopic techniques and fluoresce…
